Bedfordshire police has released CCTV images of two men they want to trace after an armed robbery in Dunstable last week.

The owner of the Costcutter convenience store in Union Street was threatened with a knife on 12th October at 9.45pm.

“This was a very distressing incident for the store owner. He was very brave and managed to spray the offenders with a marking spay and they fled the scene empty handed. We are keen to find the identity of the men in the photographs. If you recognise the individuals please get in touch.”

The family of Paul Pradier, who died following an incident in Dunstable on Friday evening, have paid tribute to him.

In a short statement they said

Paul was a lovable rogue. He was a loving son, brother and a great father. He will be missed greatly by his long term partner and all of his family. He was well known in the Downside area and his loss felt by all those who knew him. We would ask for time to grieve in private.
